Completed Heart
I managed to finish the centre heart last night. I think I can say that I've overcome my fear of all those curves now! I've never appliqued shapes of this size before - or so many curves either. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the stitching. I swapped to using freezer paper templates so that I could cut away the fabrics at the back. Progress will probably slow down now as it will probably take me some time to choose which fabrics to use for the leaves and circles - I'm a fully qualified procrastinator!
It's stunning Theresa!
ReplyDeletewonderful block, you did a great job.....can't wait to see the rest of this one
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful, great job on the little "fingers".
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done Theresa! Aren't you glad the inside edge of the heart doesn't have little fingers too? ;) LOL
ReplyDeleteGood job Theresa! I made this one last year and those "fingers" or "tongues" or "petals" were very intimidating. You'll have a lot of fun with the rest of it. At least I think you will--I only did one more border and called it a baby quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely! Now the fussy cutting fun begins...
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on this, I like the light blue and red combination.
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful! I'm envious!
ReplyDeleteFabulous Theresa!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! It is looking positively wonderful, Theresa!!! Don't procrastinate too long - we NEED to see more!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's fabulous Theresa, great stitsching on the fingers, you'll be steaming ahead now.
ReplyDeleteWell done Theresa!! It does't look like this is the first time you've done curvy applique. It looks like you've been doing it for a long time.
ReplyDeleteHeart looks great! Keep us updated, Kim McL
